Review and track an agent's performance without affecting an ongoing call.

Before you begin

You can only monitor one agent at a time. If another supervisor tries to monitor the same agent, the Start Monitoring button is disabled. If multiple supervisors try to monitor an agent simultaneously, monitoring is initiated for one supervisor and the system displays an error for the other supervisors.

  • You can’t barge into a call being monitored by another supervisor or if the agent is in a consultation call with another agent.

  • Other supervisors can't monitor or barge into the call that you are monitoring.

  • You can’t barge into a call monitoring that you have paused. Resume the monitoring to enable barge in.

  • If the agent consults another agent after you've barged in, you're put on hold and the barge in resumes after the consultation ends.

  • If the agent transfers the call that you have barged in to, to another agent from a different team or to a different queue, the monitoring ends and an error message displays.

  • You can't transfer the call, drop the agent, initiate a consult call, or start a conference call during the barge in.

  • End the monitoring activity to end the barge in.

When finished, click End Monitoring to end the monitoring activity.
